1. The current Sint-Martinuskerk replaced an earlier church of the same name built in 1808, which in turn had replaced a medieval church known as the Sint-Odakerk. The latter was demolished in 1912, leaving behind only its high choir from 1498, now a side chapel of the choir.
2. This high choir is designated as a national monument.

The current church was designed in neo-Gothic style by architect W.Th. van Aalst and completed in 1915. Notably, the church is not strictly oriented, resulting in the old choir standing at an angle to the main building. Instead of a large tower, the church features a small one.

Behind the church lies a cemetery where since 1934 stands a chapel designed by Marinus Jan Granpré Molière and dedicated to Saint Oda. The name Sint-Oedenrode is associated with this saint.

The Sint-Martinuskerk is an important cultural and historical landmark in the region, and its address serves as a guide for visitors seeking to find it.
